TAKE HOME A NUDE®
to benefit the Academy and its artists
Celebrating over 30 years of artists supporting artists,
this year’s auction will be the best one yet!
We are currently planning to hold this critical fundraiser
at Sotheby’s NYC on October 7, 2024,
and we cannot do it without your help.
We look forward to seeing your submissions and thank you for your support!

TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Submissions must be entered no later than June 27, 2024 (11:59pm). By submitting your artwork, you confirm that you understand and agree to the entry guidelines as stated above and that you are agreeing to donate your artwork to benefit the New York Academy of Art. This artwork may be used for Take Home a Nude, an art auction and sale to benefit the New York Academy of Art and its educational mission. If selected for inclusion in the auction, the artwork may be used for promotional purposes of the New York Academy of Art, and it may be posted to a global online auction and sales platform. Due to limitations of space and the discretion of the auction’s curators, not all submissions will be selected for inclusion and that selected work may be online-only and not included in the in-person auction. If work is unsold at the close of the auction, donating artists have the option of donating it for a future auction or sale or retrieving it from the Academy within three weeks after the auction closing date. All works left after this date will become the property of the New York Academy of Art to be used to benefit the Academy.
